Red eared slider doesn't like to swim


Question Posted Sunday May 29 2011, 6:10 pm

I have had my RES for about 3 months. He was first in a really small tank because he was really small but I have upgraded to a 20 galling tank. The water depth is at about 4 inches and he just walks on the floor of the tank and doesn't swim. I know he knows how I guess he's lazy. How do I get him swimming

Why do you want him to swim? If he's happy walking around on the floor of the tank and he appears to be healthy, I see no point in trying to make him swim. If the water in his old tank was too shallow to swim in, maybe he's just so used to walking around it hasn't occured to him to swim.
